About this postcard

A large-letter greeting card reading "Greetings from the Ozarks," with the letters of "OZARKS" filled with vignettes of Ozark scenery and pastimes: rock formations, a canoe on a river, a fisherman, a waterfall, a bridge, and a man playing guitar on a porch with chickens nearby. The Ozarks are a highland region of southern Missouri and northern Arkansas known for wooded hills, rivers, and folk music. Large-letter cards of this style were popular in the linen postcard era.
